According Webster (1985), to researc HYPO.docx Sam the Eagle | Muppet Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Sam at D23 Expo in 2009. Sam working at WGF News in The Muppets. Sam and Jean Pierre Napoleon in Muppets Most Wanted Sam as Captain America in a 2011 parody poster. Sam the Eagle is an American eagle who feels his species and role as national symbol have placed certain responsibilities upon his shoulders. He has taken it upon himself to promote and protect wholesome American morals and values, and he works behind the scenes of The Muppet Show as self-appointed censor and advocate of cultural, educational acts such as Wayne and Wanda. Sam is appalled by the nonsense that passes for entertainment on the series and does his best to keep things in check, even though his pleas for an end to madness are usually ignored.

As noted in the first issue of The Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter, Sam's overpowering burden is to act as the "moral center" of The Muppet Show. He would, in fact, like to concern himself with the morals of the entire world , but "regrets that it takes all his time and energy just to keep up with The Muppet Show." [1] Contents [ show ] Early Sam Sam first appeared in the 1975 pilot The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence and in the first batch of Muppet Meeting Films . In Sex and Violence, Sam works with Nigel in the control room; he spends his time playing solitaire by himself or checkers with Nigel and otherwise attempts to keep things running smoothly. He is frequently confused by Floyd's hip lingo, which he takes literally, and is dubious about the proposed "Seven Deadly Sins" pageant. Otherwise, his relationship with host Nigel is more amicable than it would be with Kermit on The Muppet Show proper. In the Muppet Meeting films, Sam joins Kermit, an early Janice, and P. Fenton Cosgrove on a company panel.

In "The Muppet Introduction," he resents the fact that he is asked to introduce Kermit, convinced that it is undignified for an American eagle to introduce a frog. In "Just a Few Announcements," he frets over his spelling, since the American eagle must not misspell words, and is appalled when Kermit jokingly asks him to join him in the Boom Boom Room as an honorary frog (offering to paint him green and lend him flippers). Muppet Show Censor Throughout the first season of The Muppet Show, Sam provides the introductions for Wayne and Wanda , an act that he considers the apex of good, clean entertainment. He also frequently participates in the Panel Discussion sketches. Beginning in the second season, Sam would occasionally deliver editorials on the state of the country and the world, lashing out against "weirdos" and "namby-pamby conservationists." Most notably, in episode 206 , he rails against nudity, only to suddenly become aware that he himself is naked beneath his feathers; Sam hastily leaves the stage, in some embarrassment.

Otherwise, Sam seldom performs onstage (though he frequently barges on to complain), unless convinced that the act is "cultural"; he is reluctantly persuaded to recite the lines of the dicky-bird in " Tit Willow " ( episode 120 ). Sam occasionally becomes acutely aware of how futile his efforts are, and threatens to resign in disgust. He does so in episode 205 , joining Statler and Waldorf in the balcony . He sees the pair as kindred spirits, due to their dislike for the show, and their obvious age and respectability. He heartily approves of their performance of " The Varsity Drag " in episode 208 , referring to it as a brief moment of light at the end of the tunnel, just before Marvin Suggs and his All Food Glee Club perform " Yes, We Have No Bananas ". In addition to his moral concerns, Sam considers himself the arbiter of taste and sole judge of culturally enriching acts and performers. His actual knowledge is incredibly limited, however. In episode 213 , he praises guest star Rudolf Nureyev as his favorite opera singer.

When informed that Nureyev is a ballet dancer, Sam shrugs, and notes that "culture is culture"; he subsequently fails to recognize Nureyev in street clothes, and has him thrown out. Similarly, in episode 312 , he nearly walks out yet again, until Rowlf tells him that he will miss the dog's salute to Beethoven (" Eight Little Notes "). Sam eagerly announces that he will stay for Beethoven, his favorite playwright. Family and Background When Kermit the Frog questions Sam's obsession with "decent family entertainment" in the UK spot of episode 422 , Sam inadvertently reveals the facts of his somewhat tragic home life. He was married, but he cannot remember his wife's name, and they are separated; she flew the coop (later, Henson.com's Featured Creature bio confirmed that they subsequently divorced). In a 2011 interview on SiriusXM , Sam revealed his ex-wife's name was Eunice and his two children are in college, though neither writes to him. To Sam's disgust, his son is studying taxidermy and his daughter is dating an owl. He would rather not talk about any of this.

Later appearances Sam remained active beyond The Muppet Show, appearing in every Muppet movie to date. In The Muppet Christmas Carol , Sam played the role of young Scrooge 's teacher, who commends young Scrooge on his graduation and saying he has secured an apprenticeship with Fozziwig , saying business is the American way. Gonzo, as Charles Dickens, corrects Sam that the story is set in England, to which Sam in like stateliness says "it is the British way". In Muppet Treasure Island , he played the role of Samuel Arrow . On Muppets Tonight , he hosts a segment called " The Eagle's Nest ". Sam is the only Muppet character that made a crossover appearance on The Animal Show , serving as a special guest in the episode " Bald Eagle " where Jake the Polar Bear invited him to talk about eagles. Sam was disgusted on how eagles were in the wild and left. Later on in the show after Armstrong the Chicken Hawk stormed off when he was scheduled to sing about eagles, Sam the Eagle returned telling Stinky and Jake that he does not have enough money to get his car out of the parking garage. Jake says that they will take care of it if he sings a song.

Sam the Eagle sings the song " I'm an Eagle " in front of some of the background animals. Armstrong comes in during the song stating that eagles have been upstaging him and Sam states that he will mention how good chicken hawks are in his song which he does. Concerned about his thinning feathers -- he is a bald eagle, after all -- he recently started using Propecia. In the 2002 TV-movie It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie , Sam has a newly-grown crop of feathers on his head due to overuse of Propecia. In June 2008, Sam appeared in Stars & Stripes FOREVER! with Animal , Beaker , Bobo , The Swedish Chef , and Crazy Harry . Sam briefly appears in the December 2008 special, A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa , to deliver a public service announcement stating that reading other people's mail is a federal offense, discouraging Fozzie from reading the letters that were addressed to Santa Claus .

Sam appears in the 2011 Muppet movie, The Muppets , first seen having become a reporter for WGF News after the Muppets broke up (before being dragged into the group's car with a cane during the montage scene), and later volunteered to take donation calls for The Muppet Telethon. He was also one of the members of the Muppet Barbershop Quartet performing Smells Like Teen Spirit . In Muppets Most Wanted , Sam joins the CIA, assigned to stop an elaborate crime spree by Constantine and Dominic . However, he is not alone in his mission, as Jean Pierre Napoleon , Interpol, is assigned to the same case.

Concerned about his thinning feathers -- he is a bald eagle, after all -- he recently started using Propecia. In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz , he portrayed a guard at Emerald City working for The Wizard.

In June 2008, Sam appeared in the viral video "Stars & Stripes FOREVER!" with Animal , Beaker , Bobo the Bear , The Swedish Chef and Crazy Harry . Sam briefly appears in the December 2008 special A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa to deliver a public service announcement stating that reading other people's mail is a federal offense, discouraging Fozzie Bear and Gonzo from reading the letters that were addressed to Santa Claus. In Muppet Vision*3D, he creates an act called "A Salute to All Nations (But Mostly America)". In the 2011 film, The Muppets , Sam appears working as a news anchor, declaring "everything stinks" on WGF News, a thinly-veiled parody of Fox News Channel . He also sings " Smells Like Teen Spirit " with Rowlf , Beaker , and Link Hogthrob during The Muppet Telethon.

He is also known for his catchphrase "It is the American Way," although he did have to change it slightly in The Muppet Christmas Carol to take into account the setting (the story taking place in Great Britain), when Gonzo/Charles Dickens, being forced to break character of the narrator, has to point out in his ear that the story took place in Britain, not America, after he made the mistake of using his usual catchphrase. Sam appears in Muppets Most Wanted as an agent of the CIA, where along with Jean Pierre Napoleon , a french Interpol agent trying to solve the case of the plot to steal the Crown Jewels.

Their apotheosis occurred in the late 1970s with The Muppet Show , a bizarre faux variety show that saw everyone from Bob Hope to Alice Cooper guest-star1. It led to a very successful Muppet Movie . Several lesser films followed, along with music, other series, and merchandise.

They've been out of the limelight since 1999 2. This 2011 film gives them another shot at fame. It's not perfect, but it has been made by people who understand why the Muppets succeeded in the first place. Directed by James Bobin Jack Black as himself A tonne of celebrities as a tonne of cameos. When three small towners uncover a plot to destroy the Muppets’ old theatre and replace the retired troupe with "edgey" contemporary namesakes, they get Kermit and the gang together to stand for Muppetry. How did Henson and company do it? The Muppets combined two things that were hopelessly out of date—-puppets and vaudeville — told dumb jokes, engaged in silly slapstick , and somehow out-hipped the hipsters. In any case, the new creative team has repeated that success. They understood that changing the essential core Muppetness of the characters wouldn't work. Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, and the others continue to engage in the old shtick, vaudeville by puppets filtered through someone's hallucinations.

Getting the old act together, begging the network for another chance, and, of course, putting on a show, they get laughs far more often than they should. Take Fozzie the Bear . He has always told bad jokes. Everyone around him trips over themselves to highlight that his jokes are, in fact, not especially funny. Somehow, this manages to be funny. It's still funny. In this film, he even redeems that bane of contemporary kiddie movies, the fart joke. Trust me on this. They have allowed themselves one fart joke, and Fozzie makes it funny . The Muppets, of course, inhabit a universe somewhere between us and the Loony Tunes . They eat plot logic for breakfast . Things happen because they're funny, not because they're believable. If elementary physics or realistic story-telling gets sacrificed, so much the better. Walter, for example, a Muppet, is brother to Gary, a human being. No one in the film finds this especially odd. Then again, it doesn't bother anyone that Kermit is a frog, or that a fashion magazine has hired a pig as an editor.

Characters call attention to tired film conventions; heck, they use tired film conventions to their advantage-- traveling, for example, by dotted line on map to save time. Felt creations can get away with anything. And, while their humor contains a certain comic irreverence, they stop short of being offensive (Jack Black makes one borderline crude crack, and it feels out of place). The Muppets remain earnest in their ridiculousness. In case we miss the point about keeping the characters basically clean (if cartoon-violent) and silly, we get a subplot (less developed than it should be) about the villain's replacements for the Muppets. Called the "Moopets," their forced edginess and "street" trendiness parody what lesser talents would have done with the franchise.3 The Muppets entertains, but it's very much pop culture, and transitory. For example, Jim Parson 's cameo appearance gets laughs, much of them from the actor's performance—but quite a few simply because he is Jim Parsons, echoing (though not slavishly imitating) his Big Bang character. The film ends with, essentially, an in-joke. So what? The kids will love the slapstick and shenanigans.

Old fans will recall why they liked the Muppets in the first place. The film breaks no new ground (and breaks into one too many musical numbers), but it's an enjoyable family movie, and I laughed out loud a number of times. And, of course, Kermit reprises " The Rainbow Connection ." You are not allowed to be cynical when Kermit sings "The Rainbow Connection."
